3IntroductionGetting to Know the R3000This section contains a quick description of the R3000’s lights, ports, etc. The R3000 has several indicator lights (LEDs) and a button on its front panel, and a series of ports and switches on its rear panel.Front PanelThe front panel of the R3000 features 11 LEDs: Power, WAN Ethernet, Internet, Ethernet (4), USB, 2.4G WiFi, 5G WiFi and WPS Push Button.
4 R3000 Wireless RouterPowerThe Power LED displays the R3000’s current status. If the Power LED glows steadily green, the R3000 is receiving power and fully operational. When the Power LED is rapidly flashing, the R3000 is initializing. If the Power LED is glows red when the Power cord is plugged in, the R3000 has suffered a critical error and technical support should be contacted. If the Power LED is flashing red, the R3000 is performing a firmware update.WAN Ethernet When the WAN Ethernet LED glows steadily, the R3000 is connected to an Ethernet WAN. When it flashes, it signifies that data traffic is traveling across the connection.Internet When the Internet LED glows steadily, the R3000 is connected to the DSL pro-vider. When it flashes, data traffic is passing across the R3000.LAN EthernetThe LAN Ethernet LEDs illuminate when the R3000 is connected to another device via one of its LAN Ethernet ports. When one of the LAN Ethernet LEDs flashes, data traffic is passing across the corresponding connection.USB The USB LED illuminates when a USB device is connected via the R3000’s USB port. This port is not currently operational, but may be enabled in a future firm-ware update.WirelessThe Wireless LED illuminates when the R3000 is connected wirelessly, assuming the R3000’s Wireless feature is turned on.
5IntroductionWPS Button The WPS button activates WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) on the R3000. To use WPS, press the WPS button on the R3000, then, within two minutes, press the WPS button on a device you wish to connect to the R3000’s wireless network. The device will automatically join the R3000’s wireless network. Repeat for other wireless devices.Rear PanelThe rear panel of the R3000 features 8 ports (Line, HPNA, LAN Ethernet, WAN Ethernet, USB, and Power), as well as a Reset switches. Line PortThe Line port is used to connect the R3000 to a telephone line connection.HPNA PortThe HPNA port is used to connect the R3000 to an HPNA connection via coaxial cable.
6 R3000 Wireless RouterLAN Ethernet Ports (4)The LAN Ethernet ports are used to connect computers to the R3000 via Ethernet cable. The Ethernet ports are 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing ports, and either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used when con-necting to the ports.WAN Ethernet PortThe WAN Ethernet port is used to connect the R3000 to a WAN via an Ethernet cable.USB PortThe USB port is used to connect the R3000 to a USB device. This port is not yet active; it may be activated in a future firmware update.Reset Switch Depressing the Reset switch for one second will restore the R3000’s factory default settings. To reset the R3000, depress and hold the Reset switch for approximately ten seconds. The reset process will start after releasing the switch.Power PortThe Power port is used to connect the Power cord to the R3000.WARNING! Do not unplug the Power cord from the R3000 during the reset process. Doing so may result in permanent damage to the R3000.
